Waking up every day
And knowing you're slowly decaying
Is something that takes time to get used to
I've seen friends die in their prime
And it's a crime to see such loving souls wasted
Others get maced in the face
For dealing with their feelings by praying
Or saying they don't like the taste of the shit that they've been fed
That being said
Maybe we're better off dead with our heads in the dirt
Is that all we're worth?
Is that all we're worth?
Is that all we're worth?
And if there is a God
If there is a God
I hope he listens to my songs
And sings along
And realizes all the things he got wrong
Tear me from the fabric
Show me something tragic
Snuff out all the magic of the life I used to know
No
Grow a f*cking spine
Everything is fine
If you knew who I was
Would you love me the same
As back when we first met?
All you knew was my name
I've been keeping secrets
I've been keeping secrets deep inside myself
Too afraid to show...
Too afraid to show them to anybody else
Just another reason not to open up my mouth
Cuz everything I try to talk about
Turns into something else
And when I finally get my thoughts in patterns I can stand
I get so God damn insecure
And I forget to be a man
Hide inside the darkness and pretend I'm made of stone
Until my bones are old and broken
I accept being alone
If life has taught me anything
It's hope is for the ghosts
And that hopelessness is living
Don't you get the f*cking joke?
If you knew who I was
Would you love me the same
As back when we first met?
All you knew was my name
Vividly remembering the colors of the Earth
Keep searching deep inside yourself and you can find rebirth
Sift through all the feelings and remember what your worth
Stop looking at your life like you were born into a curse
Empty out the garbage that they fed you in your youth
Search through all the emptiness and then you'll find the truth
Can you hear it?
If you knew who I was
Would you love me the same
As back when we first met?
All you knew was my name
Separated from myself
I see the true design
Drifting off to space
I see the stars realign
Let my body freeze to death
In cold that isn't mine
And let my mind glow brighter than the sun
I have to let it shine
Letting all the words collapse
In syllables and rhymes
And letting go of all the nothingness
Cuz nothingness is fine
And when I start to feel the darkness creeping up inside
I'll let it take the worst of me
And then I'll thank it for it's time
